Porphyromonas gingivalis, an important periodontal pathogen, infects primary gingival
epithelial cells (GECs). Despite the large number of bacteria that replicate inside the GECs, the …

Chlamydia trachomatis survives within host cells by inhibiting fusion between Chlamydia
vacuoles and lysosomes. We show here that treatment of infected macrophages with ATP …

Cystic fibrosis is characterized by chronic inflammation and an imbalance in the
concentrations of alveolar and lung oxidants and antioxidants, which result in cell damage. …

Apical neural progenitors are polarized cells for which the apical membrane is the site of cell-cell
and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion events that are essential for maintaining the …

Eph receptors and ephrins exhibit complex and highly dynamic expression patterns during
embryonic development. In addition, changes in their expression levels are often associated …

Metabolic pathways, once seen as a mere consequence of cell states, have emerged as
active players in dictating different cellular events such as proliferation, self-renewal, and …

The corpus callosum is the largest commissure in the brain, whose main function is to
ensure communication between homotopic regions of the cerebral cortex. During fetal …

Brain tumors are a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant tumors arising from the
brain parenchyma and its surrounding structures, with in general a poor clinical outcome due …

Axon fasciculation is one of the processes controlling topographic innervation during embryonic
development. While axon guidance steers extending axons in the accurate direction, …

Infections by Chlamydia are followed by a strong inflammatory response, which is necessary
to eliminate the infection, but at the same time is responsible for the pathology of infection. …
